Donkey Kong 64 is a 1999 platform game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. It is the only Donkey Kong game to feature 3D gameplay. As the gorilla Donkey Kong, the player explores themed levels to collect items and rescue his kidnapped family members from King K. Rool. The player completes minigames and puzzles as five playable Kong characters—each with their own special abilities—to receive bananas and other collectibles. In multiplayer modes, up to four players can compete in deathmatch and last man standing games. (Full article...)

Talk:The_Origin_of_Species#immediately? Please change "and immediately sold out its initial print run." to "and sold out its initial print run on the first day." — Jeandré, 2005-11-24t15:37z
- Good idea. Fixed accordingly. Thanks. -- PFHLai 21:22, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
a couple of things
editI'd like to suggest a couple of minor chages to the wordings here:
- can the link text for the JFK entry be changed to "assassin to US President John F. Kennedy"
- I think it would be good to say where the D. B. Cooper incident occured.

Conrad and Isabella
editHi! I cannot edit the page, but I would like to suggest a few changes:
- Conrad of Montferrat became de facto King of Jerusalem after marrying Queen Isabella.
Both Conrad and Isabella were de facto and de jure monarchs of Jerusalem. Conrad became de jure uxoris (by the right of wife) King of Jerusalem when he married Isabella. His wife also needs to be distinguished from another Queen of Jerusalem, who is sometimes called Isabella II, so it should be Isabella I. Surtsicna (talk) 18:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Where is the death of Freddie Mercury?
editNovember 24, 1991 --AlemanI2.0 (talk) 06:44, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
